Ringtone Duplication Bug

re-sync without any ringtones
then
re-sync again with the ringtones

remove all ringtones first then re add all of them

Take two ringtones.
Let's say, "One Wingy Dingy" and "Two Wings."

Sync them. With "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected" ON,
"Manually Manage music and videos" ON,
(and under RINGTONES tab, nothing checked),
the two ringtones will SEEM to SYNC (each name will appear in the iTunes-->iPhone-->Ringtones list as separate names. (Otherwise, without the settings listed above, you will actually SEE the SAME (Duplicate) names in the iTunes-->iPhone-->Ringtones list.

The problem still exists for me ON THE ACTUAL PHONE, even while it APPEARS SOLVED in he iTunes-->iPhone-->Ringtones listing.

When I go to the iPhone--> Settings-->Sounds-->Ringtone, the FILES ARE ACTUALLY DUPLICATED: The list appears as:
"One Wingy Dingy"
"One Wingy Dingy".
They play the same.

If, ODDLY, I delete the first song in the iTunes-->iPhone-->Ringtones list, MAGICALLY the second song (which SEEMED to be missing) shows up and plays on my iPhone.
The glitch, therefore, is in the Phone, not iTunes?


Is this systematically repeatable for anyone else?

AGAIN...

😉

Have manually manage music turned off

click apply while ringtone tab is checked still

check all ringtone boxes again
click apply

dont go back to sync

Thank you for your patience!
Your tip worked! IF I add some extra steps to your (too) simple instructions:

Have manually manage music turned off
uncheck all ringtones in itunes-->iPhone-->Ringtones
click apply while ringtone tab is checked still

check all ringtone boxes again via Sync Ringtones-->Selected Ringtones-->(Check all)
click apply
bottom right

dont go back to sync
...

It may be necessary to mention that all your previous music, podcasts, playlists and movies are deleted in this process.

And yet, measuring by "I got all four Ringtones"...it was a success.

Thanks

Thank you. I was ready to punch something...

This worked for me too! Thanks!!
